Your Berkeley at a glance
How we serve this zip code.
Drive time
From our Newark atelier via 880 north. Straight shot from the atelier — usually under half an hour.
Pickup days
Dedicated Alameda route. Windows confirmed in advance.
Zip codes served
All Berkeley neighborhoods served on the same run.
Typical turn
Standard wash. Repair or dye work adds 3–7 days, quoted before we start.
Most of the rugs we collect from Berkeley are hand-knotted, and that is not an accident. The homes in Elmwood and North Berkeley, the properties around UC Berkeley, and the quieter streets of Claremont hold an unusual density of Persian Sarouks, Tabriz medallions, silk Qums and antique Caucasian weavings — often inherited, always loved.
We collect on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays — roughly 35 minutes via 880 north. Straight shot from the atelier — usually under half an hour. Your rug is picked up, washed, and returned by our own team — never a common carrier.
